The Way of the Web Tester: Automate Your Tests, Reduce Bugs, Increase Quality

This book shows you how to do three things:

• How to write really good automated tests.
• How to pick and choose the right ones.
• How to explain, coordinate, and share your efforts with others.

If you're a traditional software tester who has never written an automated test before, this is the perfect book for getting started. Together, we'll go through everything you'll need to start writing your own automated tests.

If you're a developer, but haven't thought much about testing, this book will show you how to move fast without breaking stuff. That means more time for adding new features, and less time fixing old bugs.

And if you're a team lead, this is the Rosetta Stone you've been looking for. This book will help you bridge that testing gap between your developers and your testers by giving your team a model to discuss automated testing, and most importantly, to coordinate their efforts.

The Way of the Web Tester is packed with cartoons, graphics, best practices, war stories, plenty of humor, and hands-on tutorial exercises that will get you doing the right things, the right way.

Now available from pragprog.com/book/jrtest.
